Performance verification procedures
AWG5200 Series Technical Reference
Two types of performance verification procedures can be performed on the
instrument: Brief Procedures and Performance Tests. You may not need to
perform all of these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.
To rapidly confirm that the instrument functions and was adjusted properly,
perform Diagnostics and Calibration.
Advantages: These procedures are quick to do and require no external equipment
or signal sources. These procedures perform extensive functional and accuracy
testing to provide high confidence that the instrument will perform properly.
To further check functionality, first perform Diagnostics and Calibration,
and then perform Functional Test.
Advantages: The procedure requires minimal additional time to perform, and
requires minimal equipment. The procedure can be used when the instrument is
first received.
If more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, complete the self
tests and functional test, and then do the Performance Tests.
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifications.
These procedures require specific test equipment. (See page 42, Required
equipment.)
